Chicago -- With the possibility that Chris Paul could be sidelined for several games because of a concussion, the New Orleans Hornets are expected to sign a point guard from the NBA Development league before Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks, league sources confirmed Monday night.

With a shorten rotation with Paul missing Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls, Coach Monty Williams used shooting guard Willie Green as the backup point guard behind Jarrett Jack.

Jack started in place of Paul and scored a team-high 23 points in the Hornets' 85-77 loss to the Bulls. Paul watched the game from the bench but did not speak to the media after the game.

Hornets Coach Monty Williams said they won't know how long Paul may be sidelined until they meet with the doctors in New Orleans either on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Hornets concluded their five-game road trip on Monday night.
